In response to call for meeting OF
young Republicans to form State organ
ization, fully a hundred enthusiastic
young men met in st. Paul Tuesday and
Organized Young Mems Republican
Club. The permanent officers elected
are: President, d. B. Searle, st. Cloud /;
Secretary, 7. Bixby, Red Wing; Treas
urer, G. P. Preston, Minneapolis. Vice
Presidents, one from each Senatorial
district were also selected, with an ex-
ecutive committee, one from each Ju-
dicial district. l.. P. Hunt was chose n
Vice-P President from the tenth Senatorial
district, and E. S. Warner was selected
a member of the executive committee
from the Sixth Judicial district. If the
young Republicans will take hold of the
work which naturally falls upon their
shoulders during political campaign,
and more thoroughly organize local af-
fairs, the majority in Minnesota IN 1888
can as well as not be run up to $4,000
All Republicans (Mugwumps are not

The Democratic party has not an item
of credit in it.
When the bonds were issued the
Democracy predicted that they would
never be paid and could they had their
own way, they never would haye been.
They would have reRudia'ed the war
debt before the issue of the bonds. il
they had possessed the power, They
persistently opposed their issue and
every step ever taken TO maintain and

course the nation owes nothing to the

Advice to Smokers.

Favarger gives sound advice to those
who smoke. TO obviate the danger of
poisoning by tobacco. He recon-
mends: Never to smoke when the
stomach is empty, but always after a
meal. In this way the number of
cigars smoked will be limited. the
nicotine will be made to act on 4 full
stomach. loss of appetite will be pre-
vented and the antidotal ('anti-nico-
tiue'') action of the tannin contained
in the wine. tea or coffee of the meal
viii be obtained. Taunin, accord
ing to Favarger. is the best
antiiote to nicotine. Smokers
should avoid holding their
cigars long in their mouths Cigar
holders should be frequently renewed
and regularly cleaned. Smokers
should smoke the milder cigars occa-
sionally, instead of always choosing
the strongest According to ErIen-
meyer. smoking cigars is vastly more
injurious than smoking pipe. because
the preparation of tobacco for the lat
ter purpose destroys as much as two
thirds of its nieotia. while the former
loses but little of its active principle in
the manufacture. BOSTON Journal of

How the Silent General Was Asnascd b3
an Iowa Topper.
General Grant was rarely known to
smile. and the occasions were few indeed
when his dignity so far broke down as to
permit hira co laugh outright-though he
was far from being devoid of relish for 8
good story or joke. There was one time in
his life. however, says the Chicago Tribune,
when he INDUCED in a roar of laughter that
might have been heard for a quarter of q
mile. It was while he was filing the Presi-
DENTAL chair and made his trip to Des
Mcines, Ia, and delivered the famous
speech on education. He had been in Sc.
Louis, and come up the old Northern Mis-
souri, railroad into Iowa. He passed
through the little town OF Bloomfield,
twelve miles from the Missouri line at nine
O'Clock at night. 4 crowd had assembled,
conspicuous among them being the village
toper, who always filed up on great occa-
sions, and had therefore risen to the sn1er-
pency. and was in q condition on the ar.
rival of the Presidential party to hobnob
wrfx king. The train halted at the sta
ton for several minutes, and In response
to cheers President Grant appeared on the
platform and lifted his hat in stiff, school,
boy fashion. The old topper looked at him
with blinking eyes, and then deliberately
himself by the railing, and deliberately
thrust his face close to the sphinx-Iiks
continuance before him. There was
dead silence, the audacity Of the
act causing the townspeopls to stare in
dumb amazement, while the few persons
surrounding Grant were equally astound-
ed. For a moment the drunken man
swayed and stared, and then said:

BEGGING FOR STAMPS.
A New York Dead-BeAt Tells His Mod
Of Getting a Livelihood.

A New York Dead-Beat Tells His Mode
Of Getting a Livelihood
There was a young man stopping at q
West side clearinghouse until recently
who, according to the New York Mail and
Express, paid for his bed every night with
postage stamps. He had practiced this
about a week or more when the proprietor
grew suspicious. With a view to finding
out Just where the fellow got the stamps,
the hotel man had him watched and dis
covered that hi lodger not only paid for
his bed with the little brown squares, but
that he ate at several restaurants where
the proprietors accepted the stamps
in payment. After watching
his Iodger for several days,
and discovering nothing that could explain
his possession Of so many postage stamps,
the hotel man refused one night to accept
them in payment for bed unless the man
could satisfy him that they were not
stolen. The ledger demurred for awhile,
and refused to talk about the matter.
Then the hotel man threatened to hand
him over to the police, whereupon the
lodger, after swearing his landlord to Sc
crecy, said:
II am a beggar. live on revenue de-
rived from begging for postage stamps. I
began by working the First ward, and am
the scheme away, for it is q good one and
is profitable. L manage to keep my
self looking clean and neat, though
a trife threadbare, and with q letter
in my hand, I ask each available per-
son for a stamp. I refuse money always,
although gentlemen sometimes go with me
to the nearest drug store and buy me the
stamp. Occasionally I get two and three
stamps. When I get together two or three
dollars worth I take them to q dealer
down town who buys them from me at a
discount; but I never pay out this money
If can help it. Whenever I can I get
restaurant and lodging-house keepers to
accept stamps for my meals and bed. In
this wav I save the discount. But now as
you know my game, I shall have TO seek
fields more green and pastures new. Good
night. I guess PHI try Brooklyn fo<
